Overview

This full-day workshop is structured to give students a solid technical foundation in how to make a variety of marbled paper patterns, while also encouraging and inspiring students to work creatively within the medium.

After an introduction to marbling history and materials, students will learn how to mix acrylic paint for marbling and create a basic “back and forth” combed pattern, before going on to learn how to make a stone pattern. In the second half of class, students will use marbling combs to learn how to make a variety of traditional patterns including the nonpareil and chevron. We will cover a lot of ground in one day! Come prepared to learn, work, and have fun.
